A new exhibition on Concourse F at Miami International Airport is giving travelers a playful look at society's preoccupation with exotic locations.

Fake Holidays features 36 color prints by Austrian documentary photographer Reiner Riedler, from a series of photographs Riedler took between 2004 to 2009 that later became a book by the same name.

In the introduction to that book, editor Jens Linworksy notes that Florida's Disney World hosts more visitors than Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Israel combined and that new and more refined illusory worlds are added every year. "When wishes are out of reach," writes Linworksy, "simulation is taking over our leisure time and our holidays."

The photos on exhibit at MIA show replicated tourist destinations and simulated experiences in eight different countries, including the Window of the World Theme Park in Shenzen, China; Disney World's Epcot Theme Park in Orlando; the Star Trek Experience in the Las Vegas Hilton; and the Titanic Resort Hotel in Antalya, Turkey.

"Fake Holidays depicts how many travelers improvise ways to bring exotic experiences closer to home," said Yolanda Sanchez, MIA's director of fine arts and cultural affairs, in a release about the exhibit. "For our travelers in Concourse F, which predominantly serves international flights, this exhibition of whimsical tourist destinations from around the world should be especially meaningful."

According to MIA spokesman Greg Chin, there is no current end date scheduled for this exhibition.

So passengers may be able to enjoy Fake Holidays at MIA indefinitely.
